Understanding Pedestrian Accident Statistics in Texas

Across the country, thousands of pedestrians are hurt or killed each year due to negligent drivers. Unfortunately, Texas has some of the highest pedestrian accident statistics in the nation. Pedestrian accidents can cause serious physical and emotional injuries that take a toll on victims and their families.

The following are just some of the key statistics related to pedestrian accidents in Texas:

  • In Texas, nearly 3,000 pedestrians are killed or injured annually due to traffic collisions.
  • On average, over 500 pedestrians are killed in the state each year.
  • Pedestrian fatalities account for 14% of all road deaths in the state.
  • Between 2008 and 2018, pedestrian fatalities increased by 47%.

Common Injuries from Pedestrian Accidents

Due to a lack of protective gear like airbags, seat belts, and bumpers, pedestrians are highly vulnerable on the road. Pedestrians involved in car accidents often endure life-changing injuries that can affect their capacity to work and support their families.

Some of the most common pedestrian accident injuries include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Fractures and broken bones
  • Internal organ damage
  • Lacerations and other soft tissue injuries

To prevent such serious consequences from occurring, pedestrians must be extra cautious when approaching crosswalks and obey all traffic lights. Even so, you cannot predict the behavior of drivers around you and some accidents are unavoidable. For these reasons, it's crucial to get in touch with an experienced attorney who understands how to handle such cases.

  • "I could not be happier."
    Thank you Will!!! I had charges filed on me and didn’t know were to turn. I contacted Will and he immediately set me mind at ease. He took a lot of time explaining each and every step that he would take to help me. Everything he told me from our first phone call was spot on. I would have paid more than his quote had I known he and his office staff were going to be this great. I highly recommend Will and have done so to my friends and family. I could not be happier.

  • "Will was a lifesaver for me."

    Will was a lifesaver for me. He helped me put together documentation that resulted in having a felony dropped to a misdemeanor. Olivia, his assistant, is awesome also. I had Will's cell number and was able to call or text any time I felt uneasy. The team is very responsive and supportive. I could not ask for a better outcome. Thank you, Will!
